YFC are excited to run a series of Waste Wise Workshops - practical, hands-on sessions designed to help you repurpose, reduce and rethink waste.
This project is supported by funding from the Government of Western Australia and the Waste Authority.

Bag & Shoe Repair + Painting Workshop

Give your favourite accessories a fresh lease on life! This creative session combines practical repair skills with personal style flair.

Thursday 25 September 9.30-11.30am

Bring along your tired totes, scuffed boots, or faded clutches.

Hazel will show you how to restore, refresh and reimagine them using colour-matching and custom paint techniques.
Learn how to mix shades to match or contrast with your existing wardrobe, making your accessories feel brand new (without buying a thing).
It’s hands-on, joyfully creative, and guaranteed to leave you seeing your old pieces in a whole new light.
All paints will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring along:
- Any old scarves, jewellery, or fabric scraps.
- Bits and bobs from around the house (keyrings, ribbons, charms etc.)
- These can be turned into bag charms or embellishments to personalise your pieces even further.

No experience needed, just come ready to get creative and have some fun!

Please Note - Children over 12 years may attend if accompanied by an adult. Participants attending with a companion card are requested to book one ticket and email info@yangebupfamilycentre.org so we can reserve a place.
